Antonio Olivari was born on 28 September 1980. He is a songwriter and composer from Ħamrun, Malta and has written songs in English and in Maltese. Music career Antonio Olivari issued his first two albums with instrumental compositions between 2000 and 2001 through MP3.com. These were called "Islanded in One's World" (2000) and "Anima" (2001). These albums are not available anymore, but some of the tracks were reissued on an album called "Mist: Relaxing Instrumental Music". According to researcher and promoter of Maltese music Toni Sant, "Olivari was one of a handful of Maltese musicians who published their work through MP3.com back when the site was a non-commercial hotbed of unsigned acts". In 2007, Antonio wrote and recorded the theme-song for the Żgħażagħ Ħaddiema Nsara annual concert Strummin' Home entitled 'Keep on Strummin', which had Errol Cutajar singing the lead vocal accompanied by the ŻĦN Symphonik Choir. Antonio was, between 2007 and 2011, one of the members in the ŻĦN Symphonik rock band, which organised non-profit concerts to raise awareness on a variety of social issues. In 2008, Antonio composed the music for the opening sequence of television programme X-Lab, which was broadcast on TVM (Malta) and on the Cyprus Broadcasting Corporation. He also wrote and recorded another song for the ŻĦN Symphonik choir called 'The Language of Music', which is sung by Melanie Saliba, and participated in the concert Akustika 3, held at the Saint James Cavalier. During this concert, four of Antonio's original songs were performed ('Vain', 'Issa Tard Wisq', 'The Coffee Song' and 'DIY Blues'). In 2009, Antonio released an online album called 'Dark Ages', which is available at PinkPube.com. Reviews of the album included comments such as "the songs, which mainly feature an acoustic guitar accompanied by ethereal guitar effects in the background, sound otherworldly and dark; a very good dream pop album. Tracks of note include The End of Time and The Clown Song". In February he played at the launch of the book 'Qed Nistenniek Nieżla max-Xita' by well-known Gozitan author Pierre J. Mejlak, and in March Antonio performed once again with the Akustika band during Akustika 4. Like in the previous year, original songs were performed ('Pull Me Back', 'Vain', and 'Wine Bar Blues'). In 2010, Antonio composed the soundtrack for the second season of the Maltese local television series 'Għeruq', which was produced by Hermann Bonaci Productions and broadcast on NET Television
